Jonathan Kuminga Headlines The Hawks Injury Report Heading Into Tuesday's Matchup With Dallas

The Atlanta Hawks are the hottest team in the NBA right now, winners of six in a row, and they continue to inch up closer in the standings in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks have won the last two games without prized trade deadline acquisition Jonathan Kuminga, and he continues to be questionable ahead of tomorrow's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. There is a slight change in his injury designation, in that he is out with a bone bruise instead of left knee inflammation.

Heading into Tuesday's tilt, the club is averaging an NBA-best 30.5 assists per game, on pace to be the sixth-highest in a single season in league history. The Hawks' win on 3/7 also marked the team's 3,000th win in franchise history, becoming just the sixth team in NBA history to amass 3,000 wins.

Atlanta's five-man lineup of CJ McCollum, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, and Onyeka Okongwu has an overall net rating of 24.1. That five-man group has played 17 games together and 158 total minutes, per NBA.com/Stats.
